quick (Contiguous + The Tailored Sweater) = Top-Down Twinkle Best Friend Cardigan, take two

This is the most awesome sweater (it's still a work in progress):

You are looking at a Twinkle Best Friend Cardigan, with the set-in sleeves, worked from a cast-on and then with increases, to shape the back, front and sleeves. It is so amazing I cannot wait until I'm done to start talking about it, I have to gush now. Because I started with a cable cast-on of 16 stitches, did increases in between different sets of markers, and voila, set-in sleeves, top-down, with one contiguous piece of yarn. I did do little things using Tuulia's method though, like the slip-stitches on the outside of the sleeve increases to simulate a seam, it just looks so polished that way.

Looks like it's going to be my mother's though. It's a little big for me, and she keeps asking me when I'm going to knit her something. Maybe I'll go back and knit one for myself. . . someday.
